Silken Tent

Silken Tent

Synopsis

Silken Tent primarily explores the duet form. There are three duets linked by solos for the women. Each duet becomes a different interpretation of the same poem - Silken Tent by Robert Frost. Originally designed for the first students graduating with majors in Contemporary Dance from the VCA, it was subsequently included in the repertoire for DanceWorks and Tasdance. The sound score incorporates an earlier highly original composition by les Gilbert entitled Harmonium Music.
